Built to Spill

In the vibrant landscape of indie rock, Built to Spill made a notable return with their performance at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit on June 30, 2019. This live recording came just a couple of years after the band released their album "Keep It Like a Secret" in 1999, and after rendering their unique sound with "Untethered Moon" in 2015. At this particular show, the set featured a delightful mix of fan favorites — songs like “You Were Right” and “Center of the Universe” showcased the band's knack for balancing melody with introspective lyrics. Interestingly, during this performance, they also covered "When Not Being Stupid Is Not Enough," a track originally by Caustic Resin, giving a nod to their roots and collaborations within the indie community. It’s moments like these that not only highlight their musical journey but also remind us of their enduring influence on the genre. Isn’t it fantastic how a live show can weave together the threads of an artist’s history?
